I got one as well from beazerdin

Had a stint where I was just absolutely swamped and had either no time or no energy for posts. Department at work is understaffed, wife got sick, management changed (and the new manager does not like me whatsoever), and then the farm sucking up spare time. I'm gonna try and get posts up that I...

Had a random thought at work today. If I were to set up a shop where folks could come in, sell their baubles, trinkets, magical weapons, quest rewards that have stats lower than what you looted in a dungeon three days ago, etc. would folks be game for that? Pay in gold (because yay meaningless...

Tess was about to protest when Seteta followed up with only being allowed to breath. She huffed, about to tell off the snarky elf when Fancy Pants started going off about a pen. She ignored the beauty and majesty of the statue and area they'd been brought to and instead promptly dove into her...

One moment they were in a bubble pulled along magically by Tall Dark and Fishy, the next there were fish people. Fish people everywhere. Alien eyes and webbed everything as far as the eye could see, though even as she sat in what was essentially her literal nightmare she couldn't help but feel...

"Er, they help mages with plant magic," Tess was used to the usual gamut of questions ranging from the tricks she could perform to what potions she could whip up to help someone's husband with their blood flow, though the old lady was definitely in her top ten list of most inquisitive...

She risked a peak to where the creature had been standing and, seeing it had moved further away, fought the sudden panic that it was lurking nearby and out of sight. She'd been raised on the horror stories of the fish men, creatures who preyed upon humans from rivers and seas. The stories had...

It had only been a few days hiking south as she'd said, but as they'd come to the little inlets and bays the problem became finding a boat large enough to take Shisha, Tess, and however many other people needed to go down the coast. They'd hit three inlets already and come up dry so far with...

She was pretty sure she had another concussion. At the very least, she was waterlogged again if the weight of her robes and the rivulets of water running everywhere was a clue. She patted her side, checking to make sure her bag was still there, and then opened her eyes. Immediately regretting...

"'m a mage," Tess responded, stuffing her face. Somewhere inside her skull, her brain notified her that she'd not eaten in at least four days, which is probably why the desiccated fruit treats were currently the most delicious things she'd ever tasted. Her lack of eating was less due to lack of...

Tess scrabbled for her bag, ripping open the flap and immediately digging around inside. She somehow disappeared up to her shoulders into the bag despite its modest size, muttering quietly to herself as she searched. After a moment, she popped back up, a pair of flasks in one hand and a tiny...

Protein Shake dispatched a number of bandits before abandoning her as he fell back to the caravan. Tess was used to that, people tended to grow tired of her personality (thought she wasn't sure why, exactly), though for her this was a new speed record. She hadn't even said more than maybe a...

"I'b helbingg!" Tess exclaimed through a bloody, broken nose. The pain in her leg from the arrow was beginning to hit and so was the blood loss. Sure, the human body had plenty and the arrow hadn't nicked an artery, but Tess was, after all, fairly smol and possessed the normal amount of blood...

The light died, the black shape erupted, and all hell broke loose. Flooding water and tentacles were everywhere and it was all Tess could do to stay on her feet with rushing water, Seteta ripping open a volcanic vent, and suddenly Mr Fancy Prancy Man was Mr Fancy Prancy Dragon Man. Or, maybe he...

"FUGGINGUZZLEGANG- oh, wait," Tess had shot up and awake. Her dazed mind now absolutely certain she was not, yet again, in the clutches of the Guzzle Gang, a band of beer and ale thieving dwarves with a penchant for murdering their victims by slitting throats or drowning them in beer. That had...
